Firefox is already adapting to the user environment with new extensions

jeudi 2 septembre 2010

Some are already can not wait to come out Firefox version 4, and that's not a problem appears, do not change us we trust it is still definitely in beta, and may have bugs that can be resolved after a final version.

But with the latest beta of Firefox 4 it seems that things could be very different from what we have painted. Is that apparently that many programmers have already begun to adapt to his estate so as not to break in Mozilla Firefox 4. In fact, at this time are over 1,000 extensions already run well in the latest version of the browser as well known.

As I said Lisandro, we can find some news regarding the above:

• Ability to multi-touch Windows 7 and other platforms that support this capability.
• Improvements in the implementation of the JavaScript code.
• Improved performance and user safety.
Typically we go, but what we have in the new version?

Opera and Safari have better performance than Chrome

lundi 22 mars 2010

At least talking about the JavaScript engine efficiency. Sputnik is a comprehensive series of performance tests to measure the quality of the engine each of the browsers. This test kit was developed by Google to help developers build better software, better interpret the orders when faced with a script on a Web page. When testing with Sputnik it was determined that Opera is the browser with fewer errors, followed closely by Safari. This means that both browsers beat Chrome in tests developed by Google, is like giving a taste of his own medicine.

Firefox comes back and finally is Internet Explorer 9, located in a pre-alpha version, so these results do not reflect at all what will be once it is completed the Microsoft browser. These tests were run on Windows with the latest versions of each browser.

The latest version 3.0.19 will be released later this month. If you do not want to stay unsupported necessarily have to upgrade to version 3.5 or 3.6.

Firefox JavaScript engine is derived from the Webkit

samedi 13 mars 2010

Nobody will seem strange to read that sometimes Firefox is slower than other browsers (compared for example with Google Chrome). The slowness of Firefox can be seen in several parameters, one of them is for example the JavaScript engine, which is responsible for recognizing and interpreting the JS code is in web pages.

This is a very important part of the browser, and is used as parameter when doing benchmarks (performance tests).
Today Firefox is behind Chrome, Opera and Safari in performance when doing basic tasks with JavaScript code.

The Mozilla browser has nanojit as motor (in fact this project was developed by Adobe to interpret ActionScript in Flash. It is also open source since 2006), which has a regular performance.

The new engine called JägerMonkey, will nanojit parts, however their main base and more solid will be formed with pieces of code from Apple Webkit project in an attempt to make Firefox more about their competitors, especially when running JavaScript code.

This new heart for Firefox is at a very early stage of development and still not be distributed widely. For developers, there is a place where you can download the source code and also check the status of the project.

Chrome extensions is multiplied by six in three months

vendredi 5 mars 2010

Google Chrome is fast approaching the number of extensions that have Mozilla Firefox. So much so that in just 3 months, Chrome has gone from having 500 extensions, which were as it had when the gallery opened Chrome extensions, to have more than 3,000 ... 3179 exactly at this time.

However, the number of add-ons (extensions) that Mozilla Firefox is not clear, depends on how you look out a number or another. If you are looking for emerging category a total of 11,623, but surely there are mods in various categories, so it counts as many and this number is not reliable. If we go by statistics, tells us that some 6,000 extensions have ...

Either way, Google Chrome has increased by 6 the number of extensions that makes available to its users in 3 months, so that if they continue at this pace in 2 years will have over 12,000 extensions and will reach to Mozilla Firefox.

The "blame" for this rise so quickly in the number of extensions will surely free access for developers to upload your slides in the gallery extensions without having to spend any control or filter (except for a fraction that is reviewed ). In addition, developers own most of which are extensions for both browsers, have said they prefer the Google system.

Meanwhile, Mozilla has said it will facilitate the development of extensions allowing developers to build add-ons with CSS, HTML and Javascript, such as those developed for Chrome. If this happens, you may follow the lead Mozilla Firefox and then to number of extensions.

After the advent of GPS (Global Position System) technology reused for very large utilities that can be appreciated even though they only come out to the street (vehicle) or in many cases although they urge Only one button in your own mobile device.

From there it was already possible to determine a map position of one who bears the gps, know its length, or the exact location of his situation.

With all this some security systems arise j "locks", but in thinking this would be good security system post flight, as does the fact, but they allow us to move the location of the stolen.

These systems were created for cars, mobile devices, laptop, computers and security could apply to everything that it surrounds us.

FireFound is one of them. And this is a stretch for the Firefox browser that works with the support of Geolocalización it includes, in this way alone, you connect to the Internet, we can determine the location where our computer.
